I disagree with those who place Bernard Hopkins up there among the top five or six middleweights of all time. Hopkins was an alphabet champion for six years, unified the title eventually, held it four years before losing it on a controversial decision, and defended his various titles twenty times. Those who claim Hopkins as being one of the five or six best middleweights of all time base their case on these numbers. [details (http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=3431)]

I think no matter how many times Nard defended his belt, he still wouldn't earn the respect that Hagler, Hearns, Leonard and Duran had. He was unfortunate to live in an era that lacked talent, except for blown up middleweights like Trinidad and dela Hoya. I wonder how he would have fared against the other four.
